X: Skin to Skin

Third POV

Izuku stare at the one of the many monochromatic paintings hung in Mr.Ryo Inui's office.

Colors of cream, beige, black and white decorated the area. Hell, even the couch Izuku sat on was a variant of an ivory shade.

Izuku twiddled with his fingers, looking over to the analog clock that read 10:30.

"I feel there's discourse within your mind." Mr. Inui started, placing down a cup of complimentary green tea in front of Izuku, "I thought you were doing well with mental recovery but I take it you, wouldn't be here if you really will."

"Three days wasn't sufficient so let's keep the ball rolling; why don't you tell me what's been concerning you?"

Izuku shrugged, picking up the cup that matched its plate, "Everything is confidential, right?"

"Meaning, Katsuki, er rather, Mr.Bakugo doesn't need to know?"

Mr. Inui nodded firmly, "Though I'm under his employment, I don't have to tell him anything you've said aside from potential harm to him or to yourself."

"You can accept that, yes?"

Izuku bobbed his head, looking down to the cup that had bubbles rippling with in the steaming drink, "I'd never, it's just that I feel as though I'm doing something I'm not supposed to be doing with him."

"To start, I'm grateful for everything he's done, but it feels like we send each other weird signals and I hate to admit it, but I haven't done much to ensure it's all just normal."

Mr.Inui tilted his head, "And to you, Midoriya, what exactly would be normal behavior between you and Mr.Bakugo?"

Izuku shook his head, blurting out a laugh, "yknow I can't even describe that either. It just feels like the stuff I could've done with Hiroto I'm doing to Katsuki, but I know I shouldn't."

Mr. Inui looked over to his notepad, "Hiroto is a sensitive subject because for 9 years and without free will he was all you'd ever known."

"Now that you do have free will, you are confused with what you want."

He took a sip of his drink, watching how Izuku followed, gently shaking his head.

"This morning I told him I didn't want him to misread my intentions after nearly kissing on two different instances, and it felt good that I did, but it also felt cold."Izuku stated, "I added that I was thankful, I wasn't trying to go any further for Hiro's sake as this could affect him as well, but in the chance anything more happened, I couldn't help but think about Riku and his own dam."

"There it is." Mr. Inui pointed out, his eyes widening with a stroke of a thought, "You day you are of your own free will, but you continuously restrict yourself from acting free."

"Telling yourself you are finally free is a lot more different than actually being free, Midoriya."

Izuku raised his brows, "I don't follow..."

He watched Mr. Inui fall back into his own therapist's chair, clearing his throat, "Midoriya, for the brief amount of time I've gotten to know you and hear your story, you always do things for others."
